<small>[[Reference:oyster-perpetual|Oyster Perpetual]] › '''1003'''</small>


The 1003 is the engine-turned 4-digit Oyster Perpetual, and the one the catalogues struggle to describe. Rolex's own term for the bezel is engine-turned; Sotheby's has called it milled, Bonhams has called it milled and ridged in the same decade, and Antiquorum, on the examples that matter most, calls it a graduated engine-turned bezel with hour divisions. Underneath the argument is the same watch as the smooth [[Reference:1002|1002]]: 34mm Oyster case, 19mm lugs, screw-down back and crown, acrylic crystal, chronometer-rated no-date automatic, caliber 1560 and then caliber 1570.
